GPS navigation on Legend..not ofr now??!

[hymne]

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone knows why I can't use google navigation (in Belgium)?
Also there seem to be no good gps softwares on the arket for legend.

I can't drive my car WATCHING google maps 'my location' without clear directions/spoken.

Any advise appreciated!

Another thing that is not possible is voice recognition, hos is it possible that HTC decided to block this on Legend? Unbelievable!

Thanks!

Navigon, Sygic, iGo... pretty good imo

try CoPilot.. it´s not free but close TomTom. maps are available for almost everywhere

I am using NDrive

I bought iGo and I must say, its pretty good, its fast, it fixes the position in seconds and I just love it

I was hoping that by the time Ill by my Legend, there will be tom tom for android, but theres not ... so

best one for me is the sygic, very similar to tomtom and very reliable.

Because Google didn't enable it yet for Belgium (it's only available in US & UK).

You could always install Brut's hacked Google Maps, which enables Google Nav for unsupported countries ;-)

sygic is the best!

Navigon

I have a very good experience with Navigon for Android.

Well, I did install a "workarounded" maps found somewher on this forum, and apart from the fact that it unexpectedly did a total makeover of my phone, it only is another way to find out that Google Maps is not supported in BeNeLux.
You can choose routing, only to get a message from google that maps is not (yet) supported for my region.
Presumably routing needs additional data from google or they found a way to block access again.
I guess the latter, as I tried to travel around in the US with the same result.

I had the exact same problems (also got belgium HTC Legend without voice recognation and navigation) BUT: you can get it working farly easy.

Here is a link to the google navigation BRUT mod: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630887
Brut.all made the google navigation work everywhere even in Belgium.
And since 18/05 it even has voice guidance.

For the Voice recognation (Voice Search) I've uploaded the one that works for me on megaupload: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AV5QM1CZ

If that doesn't work try searching google for voice search apk. I've tried at least 10 since I found one that wasn't giving me an error.

I'm using Navigon and I'm really happy with that..

copilot

I didnt think irealand was big enough to warrant a satnav (jus kidin) i am using copilot cracked iff anyone wants the apk file pm me i find it by far the best one around i have tried most.All you need is the apk once installed it dloads current maps automatically and also speed cameras.

I'm pretty sure I've already posted this, but I can't find it, so I'm posting again.

So I installed sygic, but it won't load any maps even though they are in the right directory "/Maps/xxx/xxx.pak".
I also tried "/maps/xxx/xxx.pak" and "/maps/xxx.pak", but ut doesn't work.

Anyone's got a solution for this ?

 

[grandioso]

nobody ? __

 

[nemphis]

you better could look here for more info and how to's
